The joys & sometimes trials of a simple country life.

Starting of new things in the garden...

Standing inside my living room I looked out to see one of my lovely parent birds singing a song of love from on top of the bird feeder hook...

The caterpillar I shared last week is now sleeping...I picked the branch of dill it was on and now have it safely in a vase in my kitchen...I so hope Lil Sara will get to see the butterfly that will emerge..

The flowers around and inside the suitcase are blooming...

Oh boy now both parents are outside my window making lots of noise...

This is the view of my faux stag horn and basket from inside my living room...

Peek-a-boo...can you see the baby bird peeking out of the faux greenery...

Oh boy...now the baby is on top of the basket...Parents are very excited now...Fortunately he did return inside to the nest...Not quiet ready to leave this day (Monday)...

However he was making much racket again this morning and by the time we got home from town he was gone...Just the smaller baby bird left in the nest now...I do hope mommy and daddy continue to return and feed this one until it is ready to follow it's larger sibling out in the world.

Show me your ways, O Lord, teach me your paths: guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.

Why our family is here...

This little patch of Florida has seen a few generations and a couple of houses since it was first homesteaded in the late 1800's by hubby's ancestors..

In Nov 2009 we purchased this 5 acres parcel of land from his parents to build our new family home and to keep the original homesite in the family for another generation...

This blog was created to share our journey that started with clearing a spot for our new home where the old one once sat so long ago...Watching our house being built from the ground up...To the present as we create a home full of wonderful memories...Glad you could join us along the way.
